CARLI staff have posted a list of libraries currently receiving ILDS. Bookmark this file. We will continue to update the list as more libraries resume service.
Late today CARLI staff got reports of mainly EBSCOhost electronic collection links not connecting in PrimoVE. Further investigation found that some of the proxy settings were changed to “no” at the full text service level.
To check, go to your Alma and look up EBSCOhost electronic collections. Select one and click on “Collection Editor”
Then to "Additional" tab, then scroll down to Full text service.
RESOLVED 1:30PM 7/30/2020 - Ex Libris has corrected the issue and the local Request forms should once again be displaying when you click the link in the Get It section of Primo VE.
CARLI has heard from some I-Share institutions who are offering local request (their patrons, requesting their items) that the local Request form does not open on screen after patrons select the local request link in the Primo VE Get It section. We have reported this to Ex Libris and will provide an update when we have one. Thank you for your patience!
CARLI staff have posted a current list of libraries which have resumed delivery service. We will be updating this list as more libraries resume service.

We are heartbroken to announce that CARLI Library Systems Coordinator Lorna Engels passed away on June 27. The outpouring of love shown to Lorna attests to the impact she had on so many, including all of us at CARLI. She was a wonderful, creative, and caring person and we will miss her. Many of you may have known or worked with Lorna in her work at the University of Illinois Library, at Heartland Community College, and at CARLI, where she has been a part of the staff since July 2006.
